POLYURETHANE SYSTEMS FOR ATHLETIC TURF AND CARPET BACKING APPLICATIONS

In over one decade of dedicated service to the flooring industry, we've developed unique systems and patented raw material technologies to help our customers succeed. Bayer MaterialScience supplies a broad range of high-quality, cost-effective polyurethane systems for flooring applications including athletic turf scrape-coats and carpet pre-coats, attached and detached carpet cushion, and sound absorbing backings for wood and laminate flooring.

We work closely with you to develop the right polyurethane systems for your application. When you choose Bayer MaterialScience, you choose a teammate with both industry loyalty and true expertise in polyurethane chemistry for flooring applications.



Markets Served

Bayer MaterialScience Urethane serves the entire spectrum of flooring manufacturers:
  • Athletic turf/synthetic grass: scrape-coats, pre-coats, and foam cushions
  • Carpet: pre-coats, attached and detached foam cushions
  • Froth foam pads: used in multiple applications like carpet padding, underlayment, etc.
  • Sound absorption foam underlayment: used for hardwoods and laminates


High-Performance Polyurethane Flooring Applications

The unique properties and versatility of polyurethane chemistry make it the ideal material for many flooring applications. There are many advantages Bayer MaterialScience can provide:
  • Outdoor applications—like athletic turf and marine carpet—are exposed to repeated wet and dry cycles. These applications must be water-resistant, but still provide strength and durability.
  • Commercial carpets often require high-performance polyurethane backings because they specify high stitch-lock and are exposed to repeated steam cleanings. This is particularly true in the health care and hospitality sectors.
  • Polyurethane carpet padding must retain its resilience over the long term. The right cushion improves the feel and wear qualities of carpet face fibers.
  • Polyurethane foam pads are required for use with many hardwood and laminate floorings for sound absorption and a moisture barrier.
  • Polyurethane backings resist moisture and will not promote the growth of mold, mildew, or microbes.
